Cellular¶
In this menu area you define and configure the dial-up of your router. Can be reached via Network > Cellular.
Check the entries and select a preset network provider under SIM1 Network Provider, or add a self-created profile of a provider:
You can obtain the APN, dial-in number, user name and password from your local network provider. Ask them for the details.
Via Show Advanced Options you can make further settings, such as the PIN code if it is set on the SIM card.

VRRP¶
The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a method for increasing the availability of important gateways in local networks by means of redundant routers. Several physical routers are combined into a logical group. This group of routers now presents itself in the network as a logical virtual router. For this purpose, the logical router is assigned a virtual IP address and a virtual MAC address. One of the routers within the group is defined as the virtual master router, which then binds the virtual MAC address and the virtual IP address to its network interface and informs the other routers of the group, which act as virtual backup routers. You can set up this function under Services > VRRP.
The TK100 series offers the possibility to create two different VRRP (VRRP I and VRRP II) groups.

IP Passthrough¶
Here you can assign the WAN IP to a device connected to a LAN port.
Only one device can get this IP address and access the Internet. The LAN port should be of the Static type. The function does not work with a link backup.
Static Route¶
Here it is possible to add static routes. Static routes provide your router with additional routing information. Under normal circumstances, the router has sufficient information when configured for Internet access, and no additional static routes need to be configured. Static routes need to be set only in exceptional circumstances, such as when your network contains multiple routers or IP subnets. You can add static routes under Network > Static Route by clicking the Add button.
